#January travel support event #Sokcho travel #Places to visit in Sokcho
✨Oeongchi sea scent
The walking path is so well-made, and there is a wooden deck road
The walking path doesn't take long, and it takes about 15~20 minutes?
It's pretty because the surroundings are quiet and you can see the ocean
You can also see Sokcho Beach and the Ferris wheel from afar
✨Sokcho Ferris wheel
Ferris wheel on the beach
It has a slightly exotic feel
They say you can see the whole view of Seoraksan Mountain and the ocean if you ride the Ferris wheel
I hope you go there before it's demolished and take some pictures!

Sokcho Beach
#HawaiiFlightEvent
Sokcho Beach in Gangwon-do is a great place to take a walk at night, as the walking path next to the white sand beach is softly lit.
There are many couples and families, but it is also a great place to walk alone. On weekends, there is an outdoor media art called ‘Sokcho, the Sea of Light’, where you can take off your shoes and walk along the sandy beach, dipping your feet in the waves at night.
There are many popular photo zones along the walking path along the beach, such as the ㅅㅊ sculpture, the ocean background picture frame, and the stairway to heaven, making it a great place to take pictures!

#AprilTravelSupport #UlsanBawi #Gangwon-doTravel #SokchoTravel #SokchoBeach
A popular day trip course for Sokcho, a Gangwon-do travel destination!
Introducing it.😀
The UlsanBawi course is easy, so you can climb it in 2-3 hours
You can park at Seoraksan Mountain Park and go up!
It's the closest parking lot because it's the entrance to the park.
If you go to the UlsanBawi course in the morning,
I recommend coming down around lunchtime and having lunch & a cafe near Sokcho Beach
and then coming up!

The atmosphere of Sokcho Beach in March
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho Beach was an impressive place with clean white sand and blue sea. It was close to the city center, so it was easy to access, and it was perfect for healing because you could take a leisurely walk in a quiet atmosphere.
As you walk while feeling the sea breeze, you feel your mind clearing, and with the sound of the waves, you can really enjoy a rest in nature. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby, so it was good to have a quick meal or enjoy a cup of coffee. The view of the sea that turned red at sunset was truly fantastic, and it was a feeling that couldn't be captured in a photo.

Sokcho Children and Sokcho Beach Review
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho's beach and SokchoAi were places where you could truly feel the romance of sea travel. The Sokcho sea that you encountered while walking along the fine sandy beach was impressive with its endless blue horizon, and the sound of the waves purified your heart. In particular, the SokchoAi Ferris wheel was perfect for riding at sunset. The sight of Sokcho city and the red-tinted sea as you slowly ascended was an unforgettable scene. The view from above stimulated your emotions with the wide-open view, and gave you a sense of leisure as if you were temporarily away from your daily life. It was the highlight of the Sokcho trip.

This is April in Sokcho
#AustraliaFlightEvent The Sokcho sea is a sight that is always amazing. The clear blue water and the long horizon made my heart feel open. The cool and pleasant sea breeze was perfect for a walk, and the sound of the waves gently crashing was healing. I didn't even realize how much time had passed while sitting on the beach and watching the scenery where the sky and the sea meet. The sea turning red at sunset was also really beautiful, and there was a feeling that couldn't be captured in a photo. When I need the comfort of nature, I felt that there was no place better than the Sokcho sea.

Gangwon-do Sokcho Real-time March
#AustraliaFlightEvent The sea of Sokcho was so beautiful that I couldn't help but exclaim in awe the moment I saw it. The sky was reflected in the clear blue sea, which felt like a painting, and the gentle waves and sea breeze combined to make my heart feel at ease. Especially at sunset, the sight of the sky turning red and the sea becoming one was so enchanting that I couldn't express it in words. Just walking along the sea was healing, and the lighthouse and ships in the distance added an exotic feel. The sea of Sokcho was not just a tourist attraction, but a space full of emotions that made me want to stay.

Sokcho Beach Sandy Beach
#AustraliaFlightEvent Standing barefoot on the sandy beach of Sokcho, I felt the cool breeze and the scent of the ocean enveloping my whole body. The fine sand tickled my toes, and the sound of the waves calmed my mind. The sunlight was warm and the sky was clear, so I sat for a long time and looked at the ocean. Although it is a tourist destination, it was not crowded, so it was good for enjoying some leisure time alone, and as I walked slowly along the sandy beach, I could fully feel the leisurely atmosphere of Sokcho. If you want to spend a day with the ocean, there is no better place than this. Yay, exciting.

This is the real-time feeling of Sokcho
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho Beach was one of the most memorable places during my trip. The horizon where the sea and the sky meet was so beautiful, and the sound of the gentle waves made me feel at ease. The sandy beach was wide and clean, so it was great for a walk, and the surrounding scenery was also wide open, so it was perfect for taking pictures. It was especially quiet on a weekday, so it was perfect for taking a quiet walk or spending time alone while looking at the sea. There were many restaurants and cafes nearby, so it was easy to enjoy a simple meal or dessert. This is a beach I definitely want to visit again when I come to Sokcho.

Sokcho is so cool
#AustraliaFlightEvent Sokcho Beach was a great place to take in the wide open East Sea at a glance. The cool sea breeze and the gentle sound of the waves made me feel refreshed. The white sand beach was clean and well-maintained, so it was comfortable to walk barefoot, and the walking path along the beach was well-maintained, so it was fun to walk. I also enjoyed the time leisurely drinking coffee while looking at the sea at a nearby cafe. In particular, the moment when the sunset turned the sea red was an unforgettable scene. It was a place that perfectly ended a day in Sokcho.

Sokcho Beach Cafe Whalelight
#AustraliaFlightEvent
Whalelight is located right below Sokcho Ai on Sokcho Beach. It is a large cafe with three floors, and the space is bright and far away, so it is good for looking at the ocean view. In order to allow all customers to see the beautiful ocean, we do not place seats right next to the large windows. So I was able to leisurely drink coffee and enjoy the beautiful ocean. There are various coffee menus, including basic Americano and Latte, as well as delicious coffees that you can see in Gangwon-do, such as Corn Latte and Black Sesame Latte. There were also many bakeries and cakes. I drank Corn Latte, and it was good because I could feel the rich corn flavor. There is also a review event going on. If you certify your Instagram or Naver review, you will receive one sandwich. I ate Corn Sandal, and it was really delicious because there was corn cream and corn between soft butter cookies. You can also purchase what you want separately. ❤️Gangwon Sokcho-si Cheongho Coastal Road 2

Sokcho 2 nights 3 days trip, eat crab, ride the Ferris wheel, and even get a view of the Ferris wheel beach at Urban Stay!!
📍Travel introduction
I went to Sokcho and stayed at a hotel with a Ferris wheel view that is hard to experience in Korea. It was a total hit. 🚩Travel route
🏖️Landmarks
Ferris wheel, beach, port
🚇Transportation
I took a bus from Dongbu Terminal and went there in one go.
But the bus was really congested so it took 6 hours. It was ridiculous...
📷Photo spot
The beach is a great photo spot
And the Ferris wheel is pretty at night!!
🍜Recommended restaurants
The fried chicken at the market is delicious
But it's good to go to the port and eat local fresh seafood, but overall, the baggage fees seem to be high
🏠Recommended accommodation
I slept at Urban Stay and was worried because they said there was construction going on, but it wasn't that noisy
💡Caution
Be careful of traffic jams and be careful of seafood bags ㅠㅠ#Travel plan #Sokcho #Domestic travel

A refreshing travel destination in Sokcho, Gangwon-do💙
#Travel Itinerary
Sokcho, Gangwon-do is famous for its delicious food,
but it also has many tourist attractions.
If you go to Sokcho, I'll introduce you to some travel destinations that you should definitely visit :)
Since Sokcho is in Gangwon-do,
I recommend a one-night, two-day trip!
I think it would be nice to enjoy the travel destinations that I recommend in this post
on a one-day schedule,
and then enjoy Sokcho Beach the next day!
Because there were more things to see and eat at Sokcho Beach
than I thought
so it was a little disappointing to go on a day trip!
It's not in the picture, but if you go,
make sure to try fried chicken🥹
📍 Sokcho, Gangwon-do travel course
1. Sokcho Beach. (I recommend Sokcho Aido.)
2. Sokcho Cheongcho Lake Park (It's really nice for a walk and pretty)
3. Sokcho Expo Tower Observatory. (The scenery is beautiful, so be sure to visit)
4. Sokcho Oeongchi Beach
